Tiny Dinosaur Amigurumi Pattern

Free Crochet Pattern

I am super excited to share this fun Free Tiny Dinosaur Amigurumi Pattern with you! He is very popular at my house already, with each of my kids vying for a chance to play with him & begging for their own. In the case of Mr. 2, he just grabbed the dinosaur and ran around the room RAAAWRING enthusiastically!

This guy would make the perfect gift for any dinosaur lover in your life, and goes great with my Dinosaur Crown Pattern and my Dinosaur Hat Pattern! You can read about my other Dinosaur Patterns in their respective blog posts I wrote by clicking the links above of photos below! 🙂

This little guy originally started as a keychain in my mind, though the final result might be a little big for that purpose! He would probably work great as a Big Keychain if you wanted to give it a try! He would look very cute hanging from the zipper on a backpack for sure, and fabulous sitting on your desk! Without further ado, here is the Free Pattern for my Tiny Dinosaur Amigurumi:

This pattern uses a Magic Circle. If you need help with this technique you can follow this link to view my video tutorial for the Magic Circle.

Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could get
a captcha plugin for my comment form? I’m using
the same blog platform as yours and I’m having problems finding one?
Thanks a lot!

Hi Good Friday Wishes! I’m not sure if it varies from web host to web host, but I just found mine by searching in the plugins section from my control panel. I am no expert Lol just learning as I go with the website. Hope that helps & thanks for reading! 🙂 <3 Lisa

Lisa, thanks for sharing this adorable pattern. I was looking for a little something extra to go with a baby blanket, bootie & hat set for a friend’s new baby. This little guy is perfect….a cute gift topper they can s use as a decoration or take along toy.

A few people have had trouble like yourself. There should be a box that pops up asking you to enter your email address and subscribe to my newsletter to view the free pattern. The best thing to try is to refresh the page or try accessing from another browser. I am working on trying to get the blog running more smoothly, but I am the sole person running this website, without a lot of tech knowledge. This patter is available on ravelry for $2 for the PDF version as well.

Thank you so much Lisa. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. My 4 year old grandson wants some of these tiny dinos hatching from eggs so I’ll use your pattern for the dinos and make my own eggs…Sharing this is so generous of you. Thanks again

You may not be able to see this if you have restrictive settings or popups blocked on your browser. Let me know if I can help you further. 🙂 I hope to add this pdf to Ravelry in the future as well.

I’m sorry the pattern is not working for you. I am checking into a possible issue with my site, but have to get help for this from my wonderful tech support! I am working hard to get that pdf copy ready for ravelry as well. 🙂

I’m sorry your having trouble. I am checking into any problem with the site. I would ask that you check your browser security settings to make sure popups are not blocked and try again. I do have plans to publish a PDF on Ravelry as soon as I can.

I’m sorry you’re having trouble. There is supposed to be a box that pops up and asks you to enter your email in order to view the pattern instantly. However it seems a few of my users are not seeing the box. I am working on a fix for this problem, as well as a PDF copy of the pattern that will be available on Ravelry soon.
